2-Star Hotels in Deqin

Firstly, this has to be one of the nicest places which I stayed at in Yunnan, or in China for that matter. You may be thinking that is price is good to be true, but this place performs well above what is to be expected of that price range. I was originally planning to stay elsewhere in Benzilan, but am very glad that I stayed here. The rooms are super spacious with high ceilings and wooden furniture. The view out of my window was very green and calming. The amenities were all well-maintained and very clean. The pictures really don't do the rooms the justice that they deserve. Secondly, and very importantly, the owner - a young Benzilan local who operates the hotel with his mother - is exceptionally kind, genuine and friendly. As a solo traveller, he helped organise transport, offered lunch, and even some of the local liquor. As far as service goes, this place remains unbeaten amongst all the places I've travelled in China. The hotel overlooks the mountains surrounding Benzilan. In the evening, you can peacefully sit outside the hotel on its elevated terrace and quietly watch the mountains as the sun goes down. I would not hesitate to stay again.

Absolute perfection!! Hand-typed glowing review! This was by far the best experience during my stay in Shangri-La. The owners are local and incredibly warm and attentive. The moment we parked, someone came to help with our luggage, and they even gave us a free room upgrade and breakfast. Above all, the cleanliness was top-notch—no weird smells at all (we stayed at another Tibetan-style inn in the Ancient Town before, and a faint, lingering foot odor gave me a headache all night). Located right along the main road leading to Feilai Temple, it's very easy to find. Inside, they have a well-paved, private parking lot that is spacious and even equipped with EV charging stations! That's something other guesthouses near the Feilai Temple viewing platform simply cannot offer. It's about a 15-minute walk to the viewing platform, and they even provide Mercedes-Benz van transfers for sunrise viewing. I've never written such a long review, but this place truly deserves it!

I accidentally booked an extra night, and the owner kindly helped me get a full refund, which I really appreciate. My stay this time was fantastic! The hotel environment is quiet and elegant, and the room was spotlessly clean with great natural light and ventilation. The staff were all very friendly and attentive, always ready to help with anything we needed, paying close attention to every detail. It offers excellent value for money, making for a comfortable and worry-free stay. I highly recommend it!

On my way back from Tibet, I was unlucky and didn't catch the sunrise on the golden mountains, but the stay was great. The owner was incredibly warm and genuine, very attentive, and an excellent chef (the ground floor is a restaurant, and compared to other places nearby, this one was convenient and offered great value for money. Plus, getting a good meal on this trip was a rare treat). The room was new, well-equipped, and had oxygen supply. The floor-to-ceiling windows were quite relaxing. Last time I was here, parking was a nightmare, but this time they actually had a parking lot!

A fantastic hotel. High-end and classy. Walking at this high altitude is exhausting, let alone climbing stairs. But this hotel is exceptional; it has an elevator. You can see the snow-capped mountains just by opening the curtains. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Feilai Temple to see Meili Snow Mountain. I stayed there myself, and I can attest to the quality.

Just to make it clear that the location of this hotel is not at the Meili Viewing Platform. You need to walk around 10 minutes to reach the platform to watch Meili at sunrise. The mountain that is in the background of the hotel is Baima mountain. Having said that, we loved our stay at this hotel. The cabin was nicely decorated and equipped with all amenities. We loved the bathroom! The heater was working well in the cold weather. The uncle was lovely. It was a bit hard for us to conmunicate what we wanted as we don't speak Chinese but through Wechat translation he was able to arrange a car (shared trip) to Mingyong Glacier and a private transfer back to Shangri La for us. The auntie at the breakfast was also lovely and welcoming, trying to chat with us all the time. One thing to note is that aroud the area there are a lot of construction sites (there is one opposite the hotel), so it can be dusty and noisy at times. Please check with the hotel about the construction if it is still ongoing during the time you want to visit. All in all, I highly recommend this place if you want a lovely cabin experience (with sky window!) away from the busy area. However, you won't see Meili from the hotel's windows.

The room was incredibly clean, with sparkling, luxurious tile floors. It was well-equipped with heating and an oxygen concentrator. Plus, it's super close to the Feilai Temple觀景台 (Viewing Platform)! You can also enjoy views of the snow-capped mountains and stargaze from the hotel's rooftop.

I chose this hotel to see the Meili Snow Mountain. It's close to the Feilai Temple observation deck, a good location, only about a ten-minute walk. There are many restaurants nearby for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Since I booked a special offer room, I didn't expect too much; the room was very small. But I was incredibly lucky and got to see the beautiful Meili Snow Mountain.

We stayed in Yubeng during a week when access to the village was closed, and we were the only guests at the hotel. It’s located near the trailhead to Ice Lake and not too far from Lower Yubeng and the Sacred Waterfall (the return hike is steep, but anyone coming to this place should be prepared for long and demanding walks!). There was no room service during our stay (like trash collection), but the hosts were friendly, and the food at the restaurant was very tasty and fairly priced — especially considering the logistical challenges of stocking the kitchen. The room is simple but comfortable. The towels are disposable, which is a bit strange at first, but you get used to it (they actually dry you well). The view from the hotel balcony is unbelievable — definitely worth paying extra for a room with a view. We would happily stay there again.

Right in the middle of Upper Yubeng Village, the location is fantastic for easy access to the lakeside and the Nish Line. They serve all three meals, which are super delicious and generously portioned. The staff are incredibly warm and helpful, and most importantly, it offers amazing value for money. Trust me, you can't go wrong choosing this place! 👍
